Australian family trio Little Quirks - made up of Abbey, Mia and Jaymi - have released their latest single ‘Florence’s Town’, their first release on new label ABC Music. A driving guitar-pop track that gathers momentum as it goes along, its warmth, soulful heart and rich engaging vocals will be familiar to anyone who has had the joy of listening to Little Quirks since they first appeared on the music scene in 2016.

“‘Florence’s Town’ is a story of people searching to find a magical, fictional place called Florence’s Town,” Abby says. “The characters within this story are trying to prove their worth and earn their way into the love and freedom this place holds. In a world where unfortunately everything and everyone can be judged, I wanted it to be an anthem of empowerment for everyone feeling like they don’t fit into the social ‘norm’.” The song was first born in secret on a train ride by Abby and created the same day. “I started the idea of ‘Florence’s Town’ on a train somewhere after hearing the name of another passenger was Florence, which I really loved,” she explains. “I sang a melody quietly into my phone hoping nobody on the train would hear. After I got home I wrote the whole story of these characters, interspersed with my own experiences. I listened to all my secret train recordings and put the rest of it all together that night.”

Self-produced by the band, it was mixed by Nashville based Ryan Hewitt, who has worked with the Lumineers and Vance Joy amongst others. The band also directed the music video, also out now, and designed the cover art for the single.

Despite their young age, Little Quirks are one of the most accomplished bands in Australia at the moment and ‘Florence’s Town’ continues their run of releasing utterly mesmirising music.

‘Florence’s Town’ is out now via ABC Music. You can download and stream here.
